Glastonbury Festival

When you hire a motorhome for Glastonbury, there is no more iconic music festival in the world than Glastonbury. Every year, since 1970, just short of 200,000 music fans descend on the green field Glastonbury site, located in Pilton, Somerset.

The next Glastonbury festival is scheduled for June 21st to 25th 2017 at Worthy Farm in Somerset. Tickets were sold out on the opening day 9th October 2016.

Last year the stars of the show were Adele and Coldplay!

Glastonbury or Glasto has seen many memorable artistes and performances over the years - New Order (1981), The Rolling Stones (2013), Paul McCartney (2004), The Smiths (1984), David Bowie (2000), Amy Winehouse (2007) and many more.

There is nothing more lucrative for the lucky artistes than to be asked to perform at Glastonbury. Many a waning band can suddenly find a new lease of life following an airing at the festival.

One of the familiar sites at the Glastonbury festival, is the welly-clad campers, soaked to the skin, moving from stage to stage to try and fit in as many performances as possible during the weekend. No chance of drying out or a good night’s sleep to look forward to, especially if you are camping in the small cramped tents favoured by the campers.

That is, unless you hire a Motorhome for Glastonbury.

Glastonbury Motor home information

When parking your Glastonbury Campervan or Glastonbury Motorhome there are separate fields for ticket holders adjacent to the Glastonbury Festival site. Sleeping in vehicles (not just your Glastonbury campervan) in the car parks is not permitted as it is contrary to the festival licence.The map below shows the layout for Glastonbury 2014

The festival organisers have strict rules that motor homes must be fit for purpose.

Your Glastonbury Motorhome must have purpose-built fitted sleeping facilities and either fitted cooking or washing facilities. This is why it makes sense to hire a Motorhome for Glastonbury from HolidayCampervan. Don't leave anything to chance and you will rest assured.
